ANGLETON — Two children were ejected from a vehicle in a three-car crash at the intersection of Loop 274 and Wilkins Drive near the Brazoria County Courthouse on Saturday afternoon.

The children were taken by medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston as a precaution, Angleton Police Department Cpl. John Delgado said. The children were alert and talking and, “did not appear to have life-threatening injuries,” Delgado said.

Occupants of all three vehicles were from Angleton and police did not have ages Saturday afternoon.

At about 2:40 p.m. Saturday, a Chrysler Pacifica driven north on Loop 274 by Margaret Luna apparently failed to stop at a traffic light, Angleton officer Janet Heckler said. The Pacifica struck the side of a Chevrolet Tahoe driven west on Wilkins, across Loop 274, by Eloy Guerrero, Delgado said.

“The Chrysler went through the intersection and T-boned the second vehicle,” he said. “After the impact, it made a 360 and collided with a third vehicle.”

The third vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado driven by Marsha Randal, was stopped facing south at the signal on Loop 274 at Wilkins.

There were four children in the Tahoe and two were ejected when the back glass was apparently forced open upon impact, Delgado said. Two other children in the vehicle weren’t ejected. Two adults in the Tahoe were wearing seat belts but the children were not, Heckler said.

All others involved were wearing seat belts, she said. Randal was taken by ambulance to Angleton Danbury Medical Center in good condition, Delgado said.

No citations were issued at the scene but citations are pending, Heckler said.

Neither alcohol nor speed likely was a factor, she said.

Traffic along Loop 274 was slowed for about an hour Saturday afternoon.
